Number of years identified by the World Economic Forum’s 2020 Global Gender Equity Gap Report (http://www3.weforum.org/docs/WEF_GGGR_2020.pdf, page 6), which found that at the current rate of progress it will take women 257 more years to economically catch up to men.
Should it really take another 257 years[1] to close the economic gender gap?
Not if PNC can help it.
We're Not Waiting for Change. We're Working for It.
Project 257®: Accelerating Women’s Financial Equality is a PNC initiative to bring visibility to efforts that can help close the economic gender gap. Project 257 was inspired by the World Economic Forum’s 2020 Global Gender Gap Report, which found that at the current pace of progress, it would take another 257 years for women to catch up to men economically.
In the 2023 Report, the gap narrowed to 169 years. It’s still too long to wait.
